Paint colt Equine-Reproduction.com Bulletin Board » Stallion Handling » Paint colt « Previous Next » Author Message   Horselady Posted on Wednesday, April 25, 2001 - 06:12 pm:        We have a yearling paint colt that last year was always mounting mares in our pasture. We asked his previous owner about it, and he said that the horse was mounting it's mother last year. Is this normal? thank U, horselady   Jos Posted on Sunday, May 13, 2001 - 11:44 pm:        Yes it is perfectly normal. He was probably breeding them. Puberty in the male horse occurs anywhere from about 10-12 months of age on. You might wish to get the mares checked for pregnancy.   Kelly Posted on Wednesday, May 16, 2001 - 11:40 am:        Not only should you check for pregnancy in your mares, You need to consider behavior modifcation as soon as possible. This young colt should be castrated if not intended for breeding. If you intend to breed him in the future, now is the time to instill manners. By moving him to a pasture with older bred mares or an older gelding, he will be taught that indscrimanate mounting will not be tolerated. I would suggest doing this before castration to help modify the already learned behavior. The natural reaction of the herd group will greatly assit in the training process.   Horselady (208.23.115.166) Posted on Monday, May 28, 2001 - 07:47 pm:        He is intended to be a stud colt because of his bloodlines. We have seperated him with a youn gelding on our farm and it seems to work. HE has won a couple of yearling halter awards and we are hoping in a couple of years to breed him.   Kelly (63.172.47.187) Posted on Tuesday, May 29, 2001 - 09:29 am:        I just did the same with two yearlings of my own! The older one did give them a few laps around the paddock, but all is well. ( one is a bay tobiano, aren't paints fun? ) Add Your Message Here Post: -Color- Black Red Green Blue Yellow Purple Orange Cyan Gray White -Font- Arial Courier Symbol Times Verdana -Size- Smallest (-2) Small (-1) Normal Large (+1) Largest (+2) Username: Posting Information: This is a private posting area.
